This week we’re welcoming the lovely Kerry aka Kerry’s Papercraft  into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven’t visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!

Kerry used Tim Holtz Eclectic Elements ‘Gilded Mosaic Gold’ and ‘Bouquet’ Fabrics to make phone/tablet stands. She accessorised with a Thought Token, Heart Adornment and Antiqued Gems on a Metal Hook Clasp.

Andrea made a pair of bold dangly earrings using Tim Holtz’s Remnants and Glitch 2 stamp sets. She colored beads using Tim’s alcohol ink (Flamingo, Sunset Orange, Citrus and Cloudy Blue) and used his Loop Pins to attach some of the beads to the finished product.

Anna-Karin took a journey with a butterfly art journal page. The large butterfly was die cut with Tim Holtz Perspective Butterfly and the two small ones with the Detailed Butterflies set. The background is covered with design tape.

Barbara created a trio of tags to celebrate Pride Month! To make her rainbow she used Ranger Mini Distress Ink pads. For the center and the background of these tags, she used Heartbeat, Falling Hearts and Alphanumeric Emporium, by Sizzix for Tim Holtz. To complete the project she added two stencils and a stamp by Stampers Anonymous for Tim Holtz: Element Stencils Everyday Art, Mini stencil set 48 and Inquisitive stamps set.

Cheiron created a colorful set of ATCs using some of her favorite Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous stamps: Flutter, The Inspector and Mini Media Marks along with Distress Paints and Mini Archival Inks. She finished her cards with some splatter and sentiments from the Thoughts Label Stickers.

Emma is inviting you to jump on board to take a look at the Mini Clipboard she created using The Inspector stamp set by Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtz as the main focal point. She layered the inspector over a size 8 Mixed Media Heavystock tag, inked with Distress Spray Stains and surrounded him with Sprocket Gears.

Kath created a piece of wall art using Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Etcetera Facades, Floral Trims, Sizzix Cobblestone 2 3D Texture Fade, BrushStroke Flowers 1 Thinlits and Idea-ology Transparent Layers, Quote Chip Labels and Bouquet Findings.

Lols made a tag using a Tim Holtz Celebrate Colorize Die Set. For the background she splattered with Distress Resist Spray and spritzed with Tumbled Glass and Mowed Lawn Distress Sprays. She added a Mischievous Cat and Sentiment Stickers to finish.

Macarena made an Art Journal spread using Tim Holtz Sizzix Oliver Colorize and Funky Trees dies. She built up the background with Studio Light Coffee Circles die covered with Ranger Multi Medium Gloss Paint Ink and Tim Holtz Distress Crayons.

Maura made an Artist Trading Card duo using Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous The Inspector stamp set and his Bubbles stamp.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag usin Tim Holtz Mini Stencil Set 55 on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz Idea-ology ENGRAVING and Tim Holtz Idea-ology Quote Chip Labels.
